JOSIAH HARRIS. 



Josiah Harris of Machias, (later, East Machias,) Me., town clerk, 
clerk of courts, and register of probate, was born in Boston, Mass., 
February 27, 1770. Early in April, 1787, while yet in his teens, 
he went to Machias, where he entered the employment of James 
Avery, Esq. 

Mr. Avery was one of the most important men of the town; a 
justice of the peace, select man, the first town clerk, the first repre- 
sentative to the General Court, the first register of probate for 
Washington County, and, later, judge of the Court of Common 
Pleas. 

Young Harris remained with him a little more than a year, work- 
ing most of the time in the office at Machias, writing out various 
legal and other public documents, and assisting in records and cor- 
respondence, but also active on Mr. Avery's farm at the "Rim." 

June 23, 1788, he set sail for Boston. After reaching there, he 
first engaged with Mr. Matthew Clark, a merchant of Charleston n ; 
but in May, 1789, he found employment in Mr. Lemuel Cravath's 
shop in Boston. Mr. Cravath giving up business, the young man 
started a second time for Machias, October 5, 1780, in the service 
of Edward H. and Nathaniel J. Robbins, of Milton, who were the 
founders of Robbinston, Me. Later he was in partnership with 
them, and still later was in mercantile business for himself until 
a few years before his death, which occurred June 17, 18 15. 



He was descended from John Harris of Charlestown, who married 

Amy Hills in 1058 or earlier and afterward moved to North 
Yarmouth, Me., where he was captured by the Indians in September. 

L688. 

Amy Hills was a daughter of Joseph Hills (a woolen-draper of 

Maiden. England, who moved to Charlestown,) and Ruse Dunster (a 

sister of Henry Dunster, the first president of Harvard College, and 

daughter of Henry Dunster of Balehoult, Lancashire, England).
